I am an attorney and professional investor; I love to teach and share my knowledge.I received my BA in philosophy with honors and my Juris Doctor, both from Columbia University. For many years I practiced corporate and securities law, starting at one of largest firms in the U.S. (Skadden Arps) and becoming a partner in a smaller boutique law firm. I have represented large and small money managers, hedge funds and broker-dealers.I began investing when I was about 10 years old, and I continue to find investing a fascinating, endlessly rewarding and sometimes frustrating adventure. I started my first investment partnership in 1997 and currently manage two hedge funds plus several individual accounts. From my years of experience, I am confident that I can teach almost anyone how, over time, to “beat the markets” and perform better than most professional money managers.
